Well, there's a 14-day free trial, but that's it otherwise, the keys are only giving us 30 days free I think anyway.

Is there a quick way to get exp up to level 6/8? Would love to die less and kill more, but only so much I can do with the rocket launcher =\
Follow the zerg in a big platoon, that will get you lots of xp, find the biggest fight you can, and make sure you're in the sphere of influance, and hang about for the full cap to gain loads of XP.

Also, do all the training in VR (Next to the spawn rooms in sanctuary) try every single gun, and every single vehcles + vehcle gunner seats.

Oh, and I hope you arnt using the Decimator or striker on troops! It does barely any damage, they are for MAX suits and vehcles. Though the striker is very good at unsuspecting aircraft, just make sure you keep the crosshair on at all times, as if it goes off, the missiles lose track instantly and wont reattach (and reloading breaks lock too)

For cheap kills, use plasma and frag grenades in tower fights (3 second fuse, bounce them down the stairs, or go on impact for one flight - use your radar to see where the enemy is, but don't rely 100% on it) or use the punisher rifle that has an grenade launcher on it (press X to change ammo type)

what's this you say about 30 days free? 'keys'? u mean special key codes?
You can download it for free, but you need to activate a Game Key in order to play. You can get trial keys for 14 day play, so you can try it out, not sure where though, someone else know?

The trial thing is easy to start, just try getting into the game as if you have a working account. It'll pop-up with a thing saying you don't and a few options, one of the options is to start a 14 day trial.

Pretty sad that like 3/4 of the guys you gave keys to never responded. Probally not helping on the warfront, thats for sure.

So, has anyone been chosen from the Reserve list yet?
I pretty much doubt that need to wait another day at least before people are removed for not playing

I'm still waiting on a Reserves pick. Hopefully my impatient entry into a 14 day trial won't hinder that.

Got a boing boing kill last night, huzzah! Once again in a wasp, I might add. Dogfighting for teh win. Unfortunately didn't manage to grab a screenshot.

As a word of advice, don't put escapist in your name. I actively hunt anyone with Boing Boing or RockPaperShotgun in their name, and they'll likely do the same.

1) If you have received your key and are in the game, but not in our Outfit, PM me your in-game name so we can get you invited. Put 'Invite me' in the subject line of the PM.

2) If you have your key and are in the Outfit with a name other than your Escapist handle, PM me the name you're using in-game. Put 'Planetside Alias' in the subject line of the PM.

3) If you have created a trial account and have not joined our Outfit, PM me your in-game name so I can get you invited. Put 'Ready Reserves' in the subject line of the PM

4) If you're on the reserves and haven't created a 14-day trial yet, please do so to ensure we get any troubleshooting out of the way early in case you get a key later. Once you are in the game without any difficulties send me a PM with your in-game name. Put 'Ready Reserves' in the subject line of the PM.


Assuming we can squeeze some replacement keys out of Sony in a timely fashion, we'll be making our picks out of the 'Ready Reserves' list so we don't run into a similar problem of a key being consumed for someone unable to run the game. Being on the 'Ready Reserves' list is not a guarantee of getting a key, as there will likely still be many more of you than keys, but not being on that list puts you behind those that are.

I'm come to apologise, as on Sunday my computer went mad and blue-screen-of-deathed itself to death (well, until it messed itself up quite badly) and my router blew itself up, (both likely caused by a power surge), so although my computer is fine, my router is in a sorry state, and therefore I can't get in until it's sorted, and I don't yet know when that will happen or even what needs to be done.
I'll keep you posted.

Well I WAS in, just losing your internet doesn't help when you're playing an online game...
Damn PS withdrawals... (well, just having the option to play it would be solve it).

I want to arrange a time for co-op squad action.

I'm available Thursday or Friday night & all day Sunday (GMT -4 Eastern Standard Time).

I can go Gal Pilot or Infiltrator.

Gremlin's Pearls of Wasp Wisdom, No. 43:

Blow up a landed lodestar and killing the 6 people clustered around it all at once is really *&%!ing funny.

Ollies survival guide

1. Never try to flamethrower a Reaver (it didn't work)
2. Never try to knife a Max unit (I failed)
3. When all else fails never try to snipe a Max unit (god that went horribly wrong)
